"It was a creed written into the founding documents that declared the destiny of a nation. Yes we can. It was whispered by slaves and abolitionists as they blazed a trail toward freedom through the darkest of nights. Yes we can...." Barack Obama.

"A cartoon character is how I see myself and it's worked for me for 40 years. I would rather be a cartoon than a genius!" Dolly Parton.

"Because I'm an ordinary person, I thought that they meant, 'What's your biggest weakness?' If I had gone last I would have known what the game was. And then I could have said, 'Well, ya know, I like to help old ladies across the street. Sometimes they don't want to be helped. It's terrible.'" Barack Obama.

"In addition to keen intelligence, integrity and a rare authenticity, you exhibit something that has nothing to do with age, experience, race or gender and something I don't see in other candidates. That something is a creative imagination which coupled with brilliance equals wisdom. It is too bad if we associate it only with gray hair and old age. Or if we call searing vision naivete. Or if we believe cunning is insight. Or if we settle for finessing cures tailored for each ravaged tree in the forest while ignoring the poisonous landscape that feeds and surrounds it." Toni Morrison raved about Barack Obama.

"Ladies, doesn't it all sound too familiar? Once again, a woman is told to put her dreams aside to benefit a man, to benefit a party of men. Obama, a freshman senator who has paid no dues, is treated like anointed royalty; while a hard-working woman who has battled her entire life to break the glass ceiling is treated like a leftover meal, and thrown down the garbage disposal. You know how this feels. You've been in Hillary's shoes. You've seen the pretty boys that come in the office, almost no experience. They glad-hand the boss; they take credit for your work, talk a good game with real specifics, and then what happens? They get promoted while you, the hardworking backbone of the office, are told to go fetch the coffee or set up meetings for these dweebs that couldn't carry your bra if they had to." Rush Limbaugh channels the feminists.

Are any of the Rs here pulling their hair out over the "magic negro" issue? At first there were crickets. Since then there's been a trickle of Rs opposing the "magic negro" song when it dawned on them that this looks bad.

Obviously, these Rs don't really care (they may even like the song.) Their transparently calculated, slowly expressed opposition is hilarious.

Since that they can't genuinely and quickly express opposition they'd be better off saying "F you, we like the song, if you don't like it there is a problem w/ you, and we don't want you in our party!!!!!!!"

I would love to see Saltsman overcome this issue, he would be a great RNC leader. He'll fight the PC police and take advice from Rush, that would be awesome.

I'm not a Barack fan, but I LOVED that one. He really nailed it. And his stated biggest weakness--being organized--is mine.

The best NY post headline I can remember is "Marv Albert found tied to dead dominatrix" or something to that effect. (I cant testify to those words under oath, but the print was something very close to the spirit of those words)

Upon further reading, it turned out the story was no at all what the headline implied.

One of Marv's phone numbers, phone numbers, phone numbers was among the dead dominatrix possessions. Hardly anything resembling Marv's own body and soul physically tied to a dead body.

There ain't one person alive that hates America more than Rush Limbaugh. He wouldn't have a show otherwise. His contempt for America oozes out of every pore in that fat bastard with every breath he takes.

I pulled a piece of green out of my salad and asked the people at the table, "What is this?" One of the friends who took me to dinner on my birthday tasted it. "I think it's arugula." I go, "Now why would someone purposefully ruin a perfectly good salad with that?" Shrug. Nobody knew. Arugula, or rocket, is the bitter suck unless the leaves are young. Or if they're mature, then cooked. You do not want to eat this stuff. Its popularity confounds me.

"Have you been to Whole Foods and seen the price of arugula?"

Why, yes I have, but it was nothing compared to the cost of the Bleu d'Auvergne. But why should I concern myself with all that when domestic Maytag compares so favorably?

You're right. I remember that particular episode clearly. Snerdley was late on the dump button when Rush was screaming Goddam Amerikkka! Goddam Amerikkka.

Both were available for duty in the 1960's, one joined the Marines, and one ducked it saying his ass hurt him too much. Hmm, wonder who joined Bill Clinton [of all people] as a draft dodger. At least Clinton was against the war.

Anyways can you come up with someone else that hates more Americans, or more groups of Americans more than Limbaugh?

"Anyways can you come up with someone else that hates more Americans, or more groups of Americans more than Limbaugh?"

Garage, there are 38 official hate groups listed in the very first list of such organizations I could find on the web. 38 in my home state that is.

All of them advocate killing people that they do not like. They support murder to reach their ideals.

Now Garage, the problem is that you find Rush's beliefs repugnant but lack either the mental clarity or a functioning prefrontal orbital cortex to be upset and think at the same time. So you hate Rush because you disagree with him. That Garage, is called intolerance. You are guilty of it my friend.

But this might help.

Let's say you are a black man. Who would you rather go ask for some gas money on a dark and rainy night, the KKK or Rush.

"None of the people now trashing Saltsman [or, here, you trashing Rush L] uttered one peep of protest when the article entitled 'Obama the Magic Negro' was first published in the 'Los Angeles Times' on March 19, 2007 with the subtitle: 'The Illinois senator lends himself to white America's idealized, less-than-real black man.' Below is the link to that article.

That's true, Trey, but you are trying to use logic and facts when dealing with a liberal. They are superior to everyone else, in every way, and their emotions are so amazing that they don't even have to use common sense. Which is good, since they have none.

I'll second JohnAnnArbor. The "biggest weakness" line humorously resonated with what voters understand about the political process and allowed Senator Obama, without a touch of malice, to portray his primary opponents as craven. Any politician's dream.

Den MotherMaybe you know some Americans Limbaugh likes, or American institutions that inherently American that Limbaugh likes. I can't. But then again he said he carried water for a party that hasn't shown itself very pro American to begin with.

"I can't imagine why arugula would be pricey. It's about the easiest thing in the world to grow." --I remember seeing a major article (in The New Yorker!)on how hard it was to grow, when the big hit had just started. It's a delicate, evanescent alpine thing, you know. Except in my garden and yours. So, it's pricey because Nyaakers think it's hard to grow.

"Lombardino's here in Madison makes a prosciutto and arugula pizza that is most excellent."--Good lord man, get help. That is just depraved. I'll use that line in argument. Any chance I can get it on one of those wave files, so I can practice and get the delivery right?

I missed that Hussein story, but I recently started using Facebook a lot and I was beginning to think that a lot of people were complete morons for listing that as their middle name. Well, I still think that, but at least I have more context - they were morons featured in the New York Times!
